DSI SUPPLEMENTAL RATING FORM

FORM AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERVISORS OF UUP PROFESSIONALS

GENERAL STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY REGARDING DSI FOR PROFESSIONALS

A. The Employee

The premise of DSI is that monetary recognition shall be awarded in the form of adjustments to the basic annual salary of professional staff members. This should be consistent with an appropriate and objective appraisal of the extent and direction in which each professional employee has met his/her professional obligation.

B. The College

The administration shall take the opportunity to exercise its leadership by rewarding monetary recognition in the form of Discretionary Salary Increase (DSI) to the basic annual salary of professional staff members. DSI funding is designed to promote excellence in professional service by recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance in individuals who have performed at the highest level within their identified duties and have gone above and beyond those duties. It is understood that there is an institutional expectation that all employees will demonstrate excellence in the daily performance of their duties and responsibilities.

______

PROCEDURES

1. All UUP professional employees will be required to prepare an individual annual report/self evaluation of their specific accomplishments and contributions to their performance program, department, division, and to the College. This document should be clear and concise. There is no specified format for this document at this time. This document shall be submitted to the immediate supervisor.

2. This self evaluation/IAR’s due date will be announced on an annual basis but shall typically be due by June 1st.

3. Upon receipt of your employee’s IAR, the direct supervisor shall complete this DSI Supplemental Rating Form and submit two items (the employee’s IAR and this form) to the division vice president.

4. Individual vice presidents determine the awards granted for their division. Vice presidents will involve members of the management staff (associate vice presidents, etc.) in their divisions in any way they determine appropriate, given the organizational structure of the respective divisions.

5. The President designates final DSI award recipients and amounts.

6. Decisions of the vice presidents are final and not subject to any appeal.
